Waiting impatiently

My husband and I have decided to start trying for our first child. I stopped taking my birth control (which I have been on for about 10 years) on December 6th, I bled on the 9th and 10th of December. I know that was my body reacting to stopping birth control. I’ve done lots of research (I’m just that type of person) so I’ve read that most people take a couple months to get a period after stopping birth control. I am on cycle day 101 no sign of a period at all no symptoms of pregnancy either. I feel like I’m never going to get my period back.

Hey Kathy! I feel your pain! I stopped BC on November 18th and had a period in January then a 100 day cycle but just finished my period last week. Glow is saying I saying I should ovulate in a few days and I’m just praying and praying that period “reset” me and I have a 28 day cycle. Your period will come back. I know it feels like it never will and itsso so frustrating with nothing to count from. I’m terrified I’m going to have another 100 day cycle but I’m just exercising eating right meditating and started taking vitex it’s a herbal supplement to regulate periods I read the reviews on Amazon and gave it a try. It will happen for us girl! Baby dust to you!

Hi Kiersten, I’m experiencing this right now, not as long as you but I’m on cycle day 47 off the pill. I started taking the premama birth control cleanse which has vitex in it. I see you’re pregnant now, congrats! So what happened after you finally got your period? How long did it take you to get it back? Any other reccos? Thanks!!

Girl I’m with you! I stopped birth control in December and I’m still waiting for my period to show up. I’ve been tracking my ovulation too and haven’t had a peak result at all. I’m going to my OBG this week to see what’s going on.

I just wish somebody could give me some answers like why can’t I stop bleeding and why can’t you start? Nobody told me when I got on birth control in high school this would be an issue.

It’s crazy how different everybody’s experiences are and it’s also so frustrating! Hard to try to have a baby when your body doesn’t even go back to normal after birth control.
